The Raiders have made a flurry of moves, including the placing of tight end David Ausberry on the reserve/injured list with a foot injury sustained on Oct. 19. His place on the roster will be taken by defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin, who was promoted from the practice squad.

Ausberry finishes the year with just two catches for 14 yards in six games.

Cornerback Jansen Watson, who was cut by Oakland before the season, has been added to the practice squad.

Kevin Boothe

News

The Raiders signed former Giants offensive lineman Kevin Boothe to a two-year deal, ESPN reported Monday night. Boothe, who turns 31 by the time the season starts, has started each game for New York over the past two seasons. His career actually began with the Raiders in 2006 when he started 14 games for them.

Shelby Harris

News

The Raiders announced they elevated defensive end Shelby Harris from the practice squad and put tight end Brian Leonhardt (concussion) on injured reserve. Oakland signed kicker Michael Palardy to take Harris' spot on the practice squad.

Matt Schaub

News

Raiders quarterback Matt Schaub is scheduled to make $5.5 million in 2015. It's "almost a certainty he'll have to restructure or take the risk of being cut by Oakland," reports ESPN.com.

Schaub turns 34 in June and dealt with elbow soreness last season. His salary is commensurate with starting quarterbacks, not a clear backup.

The Raiders would like a veteran to mentor Derek Carr, but not at Schaub's current price, the report said.

Oakland also is expected to part ways with 29-year-oold running back Maurice Jones-Drew, saving the team $2.5 million.

Murray, 25, averaged 5.2 yards on his 82 carries and will enter next season as the starter.

Maurice Jones-Drew

News

The Raiders have a young and dynamic running back in Latavius Murray that could be poised for a breakout season in 2015. However, Oakland will want to ensure depth at the position while keeping all of its options open in new coach Jack Del Rio's first year on the job.

At the NFL combine on Wednesday, Del Rio said, via NFL.com, that he's spoken with veteran running back Maurice Jones-Drew on if he can get back to his previous form. He even point-blankly asked Jones-Drew about his future.

"Hey, man, can you be explosive again?" Del Rio told Jones-Drew.

Based on Jones-Drew's 2014 season, Del Rio has not promised the running back a roster spot.

Jones-Drew ran for only 96 yards on 43 carries in 2014 for the Raiders.

Brown, Chekwa and Moore had all been ruled out prior to Sunday. Both Carrie and Watson entered the contest listed as questionable. Carrie is dealing with an ankle injury. Watson has foot and ankle issues. Bergstrom and McGee are healthy scratches.

Latavius Murray

News

The Raiders' hiring of Bill Musgrave as offensive coordinator is good news for running back Latavius Murray, who should get the chance to the primary ballcarrier, reports ESPN.com. Murray averaged 5.2 yards on 82 carries last season and could become a workhorse under Musgrave, who was Adrian Peterson's OC when Peterson rushed for nearly 2,100 yards in 2012.

"I'm definitely not going to come in with a system and force anybody to do something that's not natural. We're definitely going to try to customize and tailor the Raiders' system to fit the Raider players,” Musgrave said, per the website. “Philosophically, I do believe in running the football. I definitely want to be a physical outfit that runs the ball and imposes their will on the defense.”

Coach Jack Del Rio isn't guaranteeing Murray the starting job, but he's clearly the best tailback on the roster currently.

Khalil Mack

News

The Raiders have not been a top destination for free agents in recent years, but new coach Jack Del Rio believes the team will be attractive to players moving forward, ESPN.com reports.

"There's a freshness going on," Del Rio said Wednesday. "Those are things I talked about in the interview process that were important and they've been followed up with actual commitment of capital, which I'm excited about. So as you go into this phase of free agency and acquiring players, we have cap space and we have cash and we have a new staff full of teachers and we have a good young quarterback and we have a good young man off the edge in Khalil Mack and we've got a good left tackle, we've got corners. The things that we need to be started, we have. We're going to start adding good quality people that are fired up to be part of the Raiders. So I'm excited about that part of that process that we're just getting in to."

Del Rio added that the team's yearly goal will be to win the AFC West and go from there.

“I know I would be no different. That guy is one of the best, overall, period in the NFL," Woodson said. "Would I like him on our team? Believe it.”

Suh was taken by the Lions with the second-overall pick in the 2010 draft. Until March 7, when the legal tampering period begins, NFL teams won't be able to negotiate with players' agents. Until then, the only team that can stay in contact with Suh's agent, Jimmy Sexton, is Detroit. The official free-agent period starts March 10, when the new league year begins.

The Lions have reason to bring Suh back as they'll have a $9,737,500 cap charge for Suh regardless if he's franchised, re-signed or gone, due to bonus money prorated for the 2015 season.

One reason Woodson would like Suh is to make the Raiders' defensive backs' jobs easier. In 2014, Oakland allowed 238.1 yards through the air per game, which ranked 17th in the NFL.

“The better your front is, the better it makes your job as a defensive back and the ability to know that the ball is coming out soon," Woodson said.

The Raiders placed defensive end LaMarr Woodley (bicep) and safety Usama Young (knee) on the season-ending injured reserve list Saturday.

Woodley suffered a torn bicep muscle in Week 7 against the Cardinals. Young tore his ACL and MCL in the same game.

Pat Sims

News

Raiders defensive tackle Pat Sims saw his playing time decrease in 2014, and the team is unlikely to re-sign him, reports ESPN.com. Sims played 37 percent of the defensive snaps and finished with 25 tackles and no sacks.

Sims, 29, spent the past two seasons with Oakland after a five-year run in Cincinnati.

Miles Burris

News

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (quad) and linebacker Miles Burris (hip) are active for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs. Both players were listed as probable coming in to the Week 12 matchup.

Kenbrell Thompkins

News

After making only modest contributions since coming over from the Patriots in Week 6, Raiders wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins suddenly emerged as quarterback Derek Carr's favorite target Week 16 against Buffalo, catching five passes for 90 yards. He hadn't caught even one pass since Week 13, and his previous high in yardage was 47.

Of course, you should know how this goes by now. Fellow wide receivers James Jones and Andre Holmes have both had their stretches of Fantasy relevance this season, as has tight end Mychal Rivera. The Raiders have a multitude of viable receiving targets, but their roles aren't so clear, which makes the task of picking the most impactful from week to week next to impossible.

In other words, you'd need to play in an especially deep league to take a flier on Thompkins for the season's final week.

Brown, Chekwa and Moore had all been ruled out prior to Sunday. Both Carrie and Watson entered the contest listed as questionable. Carrie is dealing with an ankle injury. Watson has foot and ankle issues. Bergstrom and McGee are healthy scratches.

Tavecchio played with Oakland in the preseason last year before being cut. He was claimed by the Lions, but never played.

Stefen Wisniewski

News

Raiders center Stefen Wisniewski is set to hit free agency after he and the team were unable to agree on a contract extension during the season, reports ESPN.com. Wisniewski has missed only three starts in his first four years.

Wisniewski, who made $938,000 in base salary last year, likely is looking for $3 million or more annually, the report said.

Tyvon Branch

News

Raiders safety Tyvon Branchwill not play for the team in 2015, the 28-year-old said on his Twitter account Thursday. Branch, who spent his first seven seasons in Oakland, only played a total of five games over the last two years while battling injuries.

"It was a blessing to play for the Raiders wearing that shield was special to me," Branch said. "Thanks to the Davis family for giving me a chance."

Branch totaled 476 tackles with eight sacks and four interceptions over his seven years.

Both players were listed as probable coming into the contest. Mayowa is dealing with a knee issue. Moore will fight through an ankle injury.

Jamize Olawale

News

Raiders wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins led his team with five receptions and 90 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Bills in Week 16.

Thompkins' highlights have ben few and far between this season, but he was able to haul in a 50-yard reception on third-and-13 late in the first quarter to set his team up with first-and-goal. The Raiders would score their first touchdown of the game two plays later. Thompkins came into the game just just 170 yards on 15 receptions.

Receiver Andre Holmes also came through with a big play in the win, hauling in a 51-yard pass late in the fourth quarter on another third-and-long play. The Raiders scored a key touchdown four plays later. Holmes finished with 73 yards on three receptions.

Two Raiders managed to catch touchdowns in the victory, and for both players, it was their only catch of the game. Wide receiver James Jones hauled in a wide-open three-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, while fullback Jamize Olawale scored the decisive one-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Raiders have a trip to Denver to face the Broncos on tap in Week 17.

Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck indicated if Suh wanted to sign with Oakland, then he would be welcomed in Raider Nation.

"(He's) Raider-ish," Tuck said, per the Detroit Free Press. "And that's one of the reasons why I know Raider Nation would applaud that move, beyond the fact that he's an awesome football player. He kind of fits the mold of ... the toughness and the ferocious player that built the Oakland Raiders."

It is speculated Suh will receive a contract worth at least $100 million. Tuck believes the three-time All-Pro deserves such a lucrative deal.

"The thing about him, you know what you're getting every day. Some of the tactics, you could probably do without, but he's a hell of a football player," Tuck said. "I would love to have the opportunity to line up beside of him and let him take all the double teams that I normally take."

Jonathan Dowling

News

The Raiders announced a couple of roster moves prior to Sunday's game against the 49ers. The team placed safety Jonathan Dowling on injured reserve with a back injury and added tight end Scott Simonson to the 53-man active roster, per the San Francisco Chronicle.

"My last two years at Fresno State were 100 percent no-huddle, and I love it. I’m very comfortable in it," Carr told the website. "They are building this offense around me, and I’m really excited about it. I lit up when they told me."

Carr said he's unsure how much the Raiders will use the no-huddle, but expects it to be "more than average," the report said. Last year the Raiders mainly used the no-huddle in desperation comeback mode.

This season, look for the no-huddle throughout games.

"We want to play fast," Carr said. "We want to put pressure on the defense. We want to go 100 miles per hour and cause confusion for the defense. It can be a lot of fun."

Musgrave was the quarterbacks coach in Philly last season, working for up-tempo coach Chip Kelly.

Sebastian Janikowski

News

Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski did not receive a field goal attempt Week 17 against the Broncos.

Janikowski did have two extra point attempts, but that was it. The Raiders had a tough time putting points on the board, so Janikowski's main focus was kickoff duty. He converted 19 of 22 attempts on the year.

Brice Butler

News

The Raiders threw for 183 yards with three interceptions in their 52-0 loss at St. Louis, so there wasn't a lot of production to go around. Wideout Andre Holmes caught three of six targets for 28 yards, and wideout Kenbrell Thompkins hauled in two of five targets for 28 yards.

The Raiders announced they elevated defensive end Shelby Harris from the practice squad and put tight end Brian Leonhardt (concussion) on injured reserve. Oakland signed kicker Michael Palardy to take Harris' spot on the practice squad.

The 6-4, 340-pound Penn was home with his wife and two children in Los Angeles, when a man jumped his security fence, smashed through the front door and began "going crazy" inside the home.

Penn claims he doesn't know the man, but he was able to physically restrain the 6-1, 220-pound intruder until police arrived.

Penn got a temporary restraining order against the man, requiring him to stay at least 100 yards away from the family. The case will be heard later this month, when the Penn's are expected to request that the order be made permanent.

Woodley is entering the second year of a two-year contract. He's scheduled to make $3.85 million with a salary cap hit of $5.1875 million.

Denico Autry

News

The Raiders activated cornerback D.J. Hayden from the PUP list Saturday and added defensive end Denico Autry to the active roster from the practice squad.

Hayden missed the first seven weeks of the season while recovering from a foot injury, but he's ready to roll for Sunday's Week 8 matchup with the Browns. Autry was signed to the team's practice squad on Sept. 1.

Brown, Moore, Leonhard and Chewka were previously ruled out on the team's final injury report for Week 16. Bergstrom, Watson and McGee are healthy scratches.

The team will have cornerback D.J. Hayden (back) and defensive tackle C.J. Wilson (knee) available after both players were listed as questionable to play. Also active are quarterback Derek Carr (thumb) and cornerback T.J. Carrie (ankle), both of whom were deemed probable.

The Raiders are a 6 1/2-point underdog at home against the Bills.

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie was asked about Roach's status during his media availability on Wednesday.

“[T]hat decision is up to Nick and the medical staff," McKenzie said. "I am not going to rush him to play when mentally he’s not ready.”

In 2013, Roach recorded 112 tackles, four forced fumbles and one interception — all of which were single-season bests. Prior to signing with Oakland in 2013, Roach spent six seasons with the Bears.

Marcel Reece

News

Raiders running back Marcel Reece has been a difference-maker in PPR leagues before, catching 52 passes in 2012, so his back-to-back games with at least six catches are worth noting in Fantasy, especially since he scored on one of his seven grabs Week 14 against San Francisco. With the emergence of Latavius Murray as the primary ball carrier, Reece probably isn't versatile enough for standard-league use, but he's no less relevant than, say, Roy Helu.

Raiders defensive back Carlos Rogers, who was listed as questionable Friday with a knee injury, and defensive lineman Antonio Smith, who was listed as questionable with a back injury, are both active for Week 3 at New England.

Raiders wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins led his team with five receptions and 90 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Bills in Week 16.

Thompkins' highlights have ben few and far between this season, but he was able to haul in a 50-yard reception on third-and-13 late in the first quarter to set his team up with first-and-goal.

Ausberry, Rogers and Dowling were all previously ruled out for Sunday's game, so their absence isn't a surprise. The Raiders had two players listed as questionable, but both Justin Tuck (neck) and T,J, Carrie (ankle) are active. Also active are the team's five probables, including tackles Khalif Barnes (quad) and Menelik Watson (concussion), running back Jamize Olawale (shoulder, hamstring) and cornerbacks D.J. Hayden (groin) and Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring).

Kona Schwenke

The Jets have signed defensive lineman Kona Schwenke to their practice squad. The rookie had previously been with Kansas City and New England, but had not played in a game this season.

Mychal Rivera

News

Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera had a productive three-game stretch earlier in the season, so his seven-catch, 109-yard, touchdown-scoring performance Week 14 against San Francisco wasn't completely out of nowhere. But considering he had a combined seven catches for 69 yards in three games in between, a repeat performance might be a bit much to ask. The Chiefs, his Week 15 opponent, permitted him just one catch for 8 yards in Week 12.

Dowling entered the game listed as probable due to a hamstring injury. He was never a real threat to miss the contest.

Mack was listed as questionable with a hamstring issue. He was able to put in limited practice all week, but will attempt to play through the injury.

Matt McGloin

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was sent home from Tuesday's practice because he was sick, reports ESPN.com. Coach Tony Sparano said he hopes Carr will return Wednesday ahead of Sunday's visit to Denver.
